    To be frank, personaly, I would start over.
    I know it is a pain, especialy with the long install, but I truly beleive in good house keeping. C: is C: and so forth. There is no point trying to work around a wrong set-up...

    I would take the pain as a learning curve and start again.
    I bet you it will be a while before you make that mistake again.

    That's MHO... ;)

    R u sure its not 7GB???:confused:
    Definately there should be a way nd a java guy can tell u this thing (not me lol)....Alternatively, check to see if u can delete or uninstall something which is not required to install java on it...
